Borneo Family Holiday
Borneo is an extremely family-friendly destination with a host of wildlife and adventure activities to suit all ages.
Visit a traditional cultural village where the children can learn all about Borneo heritage and even test their blow pipe skills and take a rafting trip on the Kiulu River, a great option for beginners. Enjoy river cruises on the Kinabatangan River to observe the abundant wildlife along the riverbanks.
And no trip to Borneo would be complete without a visit to the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre to see the important work they are doing there and watch the orangutans at their feeding – keep a close eye on the wily macaques trying to steal their lunch!
Finally, the holiday ends with time at a luxurious beach resort which offers an array of leisure activities to enjoy so you can relax as a family.
***Price is based on a family of 4 made up of 2 adults and 2 children (aged 11 or under).
